Petty was actually pretty good. 
 

Brayshaw’s kicking is consistently letting us down no matter how good his intercept game is.

Gus can be very casual with some of his kicks. Especially when he’s on his left.

Watching the game today, I said to my wife Petty will be a superstar for our club. He will never really be recognised as such outside the club I suspect, but he will be a 250 gamer for the Dee's.

Couldn't agree more. Probably on 180k if he's lucky and does more than a serviceable job.

We’ve all called it. Petty was good all night. The number of contests he impacted didn’t get on the stats.  He must have had 7-8 spoils in crucial contests.  And his marking is one grab.  Three words for Petty “Another solid contribution”.

Agree about Petty. He is an absolute gun.

I thought Ben Brown was terrible. His first goal was a gift ... the result of a dropped (uncontested) mark by a Crows defender (Murray). His only other goal was in junk time. His inability to impact on contests is a problem ... he either fails to get to the contest, or 'attacks' the ball meekly with one hand. He was great last year, but his form this year is worrying. 

Weid did what Weid does. Shame he can't 'clunk' marks. 

M. Brown was passable. He did better than his namesake. 

Hibbo ... mixed bag. Did some good things, but got outmarked twice which cost 2 goals. Overall an OK game.

Bedford ... until he kicked his goal ... didn't know he was playing!!

Kozzy ... rarely sighted.

That's just not true, his kicking has been excellent this season and a real improvement in his game. Did have some misses yesterday but on the whole very good.

I think sometimes you need to look past your confirmation bias of past seasons.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
